Tour de France 2022 route and stages: "It's a very complete Tour"

The 109th edition of the Tour de France, which will be held from 1 to 24 July 2022, was unveiled today at the Palais des Congrès in Paris. A route has been announced which promises to be more combative and exciting than in previous years and which seems to have pleased protagonists such as Tadej Poga?ar, Mark Cavendish and Julian Alaphilippe who were present.

After a few editions in which the organisation has been asked to draw a route with more options for other profiles of cyclists, it seems that the 2022 Tour de France will have everything necessary to make the race more exciting and we can see a more animated fight for victory.

Starting from Copenhagen, Denmark, in the first stages, and some more like the one in Carcassonne, we could see windy days where the weather will play a fundamental role. But obviously there are more key points in this edition, such as the cobblestones, which return to the Tour and in stage 5 there will be almost 20 km of pavé spread over 11 sectors. Or the two time trials that add up to 51 agonising kilometres distributed between the first and penultimate stage, which could be decisive.

But above all this edition brings a lot of mountains. In addition to the fact that there will be up to 4 mountain finishes in stages not considered as mountain stages, we will have 5 big mountain finishes starting at La Planche des Belles Filles, stage 7. In the Alps we will finish at Col du Granon and Alpe d'Huez, and in the Pyrenees we will see the Peyragudes and Hautacam stages.

Reigning Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar has defined the route after the presentation:

"It's a beautiful and interesting course from the first to the last stage. It has sprints, wind, cobbles, short climbs, long ones, and some very steep ones. It's a very complete Tour".
